Texture and Expression
As I posted [recently](https://www.steemit.com/art/@sumayyahsaidso/sketchbook-dump), I've been doing a couple of different experiments simultaneously with my sketching.

Including little tidbits such as a piece of jewelry or writing on a shirt, can add to the background.

we have someone with short, straightened hair, eyes serious, lips pressed together in a near-frown.

In addition, I have drawn this person

whose eyes are wary, and the deep shadows around those eyes can evoke a sense of tiredness or defeat. 

What book titles or tools would you suggest to help me continue to improve my art skills?
